Glad you got it sorted out, I never would have figured that solution. :)

So you are not seeing OnChip Channel0, OnChip IDE Channel1, IDE DMA Transfer Access...etc at the top of the IDE setup section? I'm not sure what BIOS you're using either but x.xx isn't how Asus name their BIOS revisions. The latest non beta should be v1014, are you downloading from the...

I'm not sure how similar our BIOS screens are gonna be but if you've flashed you might wanna head back into the BIOS and check what's there because between revisions things can start to look pretty different. Basically all you're looking for is a way to enable the IDE channel your drive is on...

Seems I was thinking of my old board concerning the IDE/SATA recognition setting, I just checked my settings and have this to offer. Get into BIOS and navigate through Advanced, Onboard Device Configuration, IDE function setup...everything here I have set to enabled (which as far as I know...

First of all I would change the jumper settings on the DVD drive to cable select instead of master or slave and see how that works out. I have the A8N-E board and seem to remember something about a bios setting that will force the board to work with SATA or IDE drives exclusively, or as a third...

What's the make/model of your motherboard and PSU?..there are a few combinations with issues out there, Asus (A8N series) and Antec HE series for one.

I eventually reinstalled XP and it started working as normal again, it's just weird that it would quit reading DVD's, it's like something convinced the drive it was a CD Writer and nothing more. I already knew it was a software issue as it worked through USB on my laptop (but acted the same...

I umm..switched brands (sorry). Antec were offering a replacement model with a supposed "ASUS fix" but I couldn't be arsed to go the whole RMA route. I returned it to the place of purchase (which refused a cash refund without a 20% restocking fee) and swapped it for a Seasonic S12 (in turn...

Indeedy, I (along with numerous others) had issues with an Antec Neo HE when connected to my Asus A8N-E motherboard. I really like the look of the Enermax Liberty series, wish I could have waited for it too but at the time of building my current rig the Liberty was barely in circulation.

One thing I find handy about DVI is that on resolution changes the screen refits itself properly, I'm assuming that's a DVI feature and not specific to my NEC 1970GX because I'v had to use the VGA cable before and the self adjusting bails on me. Even though you don't want an LCD to get away from...

Here's a strange problem, I've had some trouble getting my LG DVD writer to take burnt DVD-/+R's (at this point it's the only DVD media at hand), while the drive is empty it's recognised as "DVD-RAM drive" in explorer/my computer (yeah that's normal for an LG super multi drive), but once a DVD...

I'm not on board yet but I do have a silly question. If I was to get invited would I be able to send offline messages to anyone with MSN or only those registered with the new beta?

If you follow the instructions above you will find that all the BIOS versions from 1001 to 1016 are available from the ASUS site.

The website isn't that odd, I have an A8N non SLI and have dealt with their page being very slow before, but the layout is pretty good. Go back to ASUS's page, type a8n-sli in the keyword product search on the left of the front page, your board should be the first listed after you click go so...

When you say you reformatted and the problem persists are you saying the problem exists using the default basic graphics drivers?..or did you install some nvidia drivers before it reared it's ugly head again? In anycase try switching which USB port you're using, or try using a USB to PS/2...

Ok I tried the shoutcast route (that thing's not half as user friendly as it should be!) and I'm still stuck with delay between the server and client output, I think to get things going well using broadcasting I would have to have three computers networked, the server without speakers, and the...

I just looked Airtunes Express up, a neat idea but since I just moved house (the party is a house warming thing) I wasn't looking to buy any extra hardware for this one time event, have enough cash flying out the window buying furniture this month. *shudder* I'll keep it in mind down the road...

I've been trying to get my head around supplying audio to two different rooms without running any wires. I have a desktop PC in the basement and a laptop connected to the stereo in the living room. The machines are networked and share folders so as I have a party coming up where the guests...

Cheers guys, the Lian Li was another case on my maybe list, for sure I prefer the clean styling but I was aching for those quieter 120mm fans (which the Xaser case does not provide either). Appreciate the suggestion though, I've given it another look and the PC65 has gained a few points in my...

Ok, the last time I built a PC for myself was a few years back, Had myself a cheap ass no brand case, MSI Neo-Fis2r 875p, Intel P4 2.6c, 2x256mb Corsair XMS pc-3200 (non matched pair), ATI 9700 Pro, WD 120gb caviar...not too shabby at the time, but a little dated now. I need some suggestions...
